"Lotus carlton 1990 on H reg, perfect condition and i am the only owner of this car, all documentation with car, and still on original Goodyear rear tyres, full m.o.t. and no tax on sorn at the moment.36,500 miles"

Ok, are Goodyear's from 1990 indestructable? 20 years and 36k of miles and they are still perfect? Damn, I want some of those!

Also no pictures...and he's from West Lothian...you thinking what I'm thinking wink

He might mean the original model of tyre, rather than the actual original set.

I know someone running tyres from the 90s but no one would dare actually drive on them!

So, how long do tyre companies make model's of tyre before replacing it with the "newest and best" model? I'm guessing the figure isn't even in double digits let alone 20 years.

No pics, you'd think he'd want to show it off.
